For me neither 32-bit nor 64-bit Linux rtl8192se driver performed well at all in Mint 8. Connection keeps being dropped all the time and I am not even farther than 7-10 yards away from AP. To sum it up, its a crappy driver, much more inferior to the Windows counterpart. All I can hope for is that Realtek addresses this in the future. Until that happens I will stick with Win7.
Just to add my 2 cents, for all those encountering "error 2" while installing the driver, you need to do this: unzip the driver in the desired directory (desktop for me) cd ~/directory where the driver is sudo -s make sudo -s make install That's it. Just restart the computer. -- Realtek RTL8192SE WLAN Card Fails to work on Medion Akoya E1312 Netbook https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401126 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
